Dear british folks

[Cutts]

Sure that sounds awesome. Like I said in my previous post, I am living in a flat in Chelsea and pretty much have every evening free. I only will have classes on Tues. and Thurs. so if you wanna meet-up just message me with details and I'll try and find you

And Cast I came here mainly for the classes that the program offered coupled, the fact that they were only twice a week, and I figured it was a great jumping off point for the rest of Europe. I plan on going to as many places that I can.

I definitively want to go to Edinburgh and Dublin, but I really want to make my way over to Italy and Germany. France... meh not so much, except for Normandy, lol.

Italy is very nice. I can recommend flying into Venice, taking a look around for a few days (its quite small... you can see most of it in a weekend), then hiring a car and rolling around the north down to Florence and Pisa.

I've not seen Rome, but I assume it is also awesome.

A lot of France is just fields for miles, but some of the cities are interesting. I like Paris a lot. The Parisians not so much, but the city itself is quite magnificent... well worth a visit. I'm quite proud of the fact that, as a child of about 7, I farted at every major French national monument in the city. As was my patriotic duty.

May I recommend Amsterdam? A short 40 minute flight out of London, its ideal as a quick getaway. There are a lot of museums there, aswell as many beautiful canals and strange wobbly old buildings. The conservative government is trying to prevent tourists from entering their "cafés", but I'm pretty sure they've not had much success at that.

Cutts, you're officially my favorite recruit of the hour.

The bad news is if you're there for the next 6 weeks there won't be any club football in London, the good news is there will be Euro Cup 2012!!!

And a little thing called...the olympics! The latter will probably make getting around town pretty hellish, but it's also a pretty awesome and unique experience

[Cutts]

Lol, thanks Peaker!

I figured, a list of 10 things was the least I could do!

Yes, I forgot we're hosting the olympics this time. What a fucking nightmare! I'm avoiding London until its over.

Oooh, one more thing to do in London:

11) Sit down next to someone on the Underground, and start talking to them like you've met before, then enjoy how uncomfortable it makes everyone.

Wow Cutts that a pretty impressive list, the awesome thing is i can do the majority of those while i am here. You just gave me so terribly awesome ideas. My classes are only Tues. and Thursdays so i have a 4 day weekend every weekend as well as getting yall's bank holiday off the same weekend as the Jubilee. Though drugs aren't really my thing nor is drinking I am sure that the next 6 weeks is going to be awesome. My goal: PONIFY LONDON!!!

Lol... the recreational substances are of course entirely optional; all of those activities are fun with or without!

There should be quite a bit of stuff going on for the Jubilee aswell, so that might be fun. Although the concert at Buckingham Palace will be sold out by now. I briefly met the Queen once... she's a very nice old lady!

I could've told you to avoid McD's in Britain (they're terrible) and stick to Burger King, if you really must eat some of that shit (Burger King are a lot better... not great, but better, and twice the price).

That's crazy, in the US we avoid Burger King because it's worse than everything else and is still twice the price. But yeah, when in foreign countries, stay away from "home food," because it is never the same. Although, Starbucks and Tully's in Japan was amazing, but it's hard to mess up coffee.

I once ordered an iced coffee, and the poor confused waitress brought me a hot regular latté with 3 cubes of ice in it.

I still drank it, though.
